Thanks folks. It is an amazing guitar - not only for it's beauty and the personal connections, but as an unbelievable tone machine! It's such a pleasure to play - sounds great in every amp I've plugged it in to - every combination of pickups and filters put out quality, musical tone. I couldn't be happier!

Deepest heartfelt gratitude to everyone at Alembic for building another dream come true.

Tom - Being an avid dog lover myself, I am blown away by the beauty of both of your guitars. I cannot think of a more fitting way to pay respect to cherished members of your family. Congrats on the newest addition.

Congrats Tom! I was lucky enough to play Tom's guitar when I was in Vegas over the summer and we got Cosmic Glow and Woody together. An amazingly beautiful instrument that plays as nice as it looks! A worthy COTM.

It's a beautiful guitar and a wonderful tribute. And a strange coincidence for me -- my guitar player's beloved elderly border collie/mutt mix, 15, is also Cosmo, short for Cosmic Charlie. He's a little deaf but still loves to listen to his dad play guitar.
